The world might think billionaire Xavier Gaines has it all,
but he’s got a big problem. His successful software
company is about to sign a government contract that’ll
land him smack in the glare of the public limelight, and his
lifelong battle with social anxiety has marked him as a
cold, uncaring bastard in the eyes of the press. To dispel
the unflattering image, he needs help, and there’s only one
person he trusts with the job—Peyton Smoke. Gorgeous,
kind, and funny, she agrees to be his media relations
director and soon imbeds herself so deeply in his life, his
world will crumble if anything upsets the balance. He
cannot screw up their solid unit. No matter how achingly
he desires her. Yet, how is he supposed to resist when she
tugs emotions from him he didn’t think he was capable of
experiencing? Especially since it appears he’s not the only
one fighting their undeniable attraction.

Ever-after just might be possible...if he can convince her to
believe in love again.
